During The HeartBreak Tour, I've been recording new music on the road. The music was majority punk rock and rap rock. One time, I went on Twitter and I saw a hashtag saying #MaxxMisfitIsOver, and I was wondering why is everyone on Twitter trying to cancel me? It's mostly the LGBTQ community twitter that started the hashtag. They found two old tweets that I tweeted when I was fifteen saying, "I Don't Fukk Wit Ya Faggot Ass" and "If you are a Lesbian I fuck with you, but if you are a gay dude. I don't fuck with you." Then there's another tweet saying, "Dudes who wear wigs and makeup would make ugly ugly women if they were born a girl." I've been called out for my homophobic tweets. One girl tweet, "Maxx Misfit is not only a trash rapper and singer, he's also a trash person." the other tweeted, "They really gave the key to the city to this guy?" the other tweet said, "Maxx Misfit sucks." And lastly, "The hip hop community is homophobic."
"Damn, they just found them." I said to myself.
At home, I talked to Janey about the tweets.
"I was in High School tweeting that shit, how are people even bringing it up?" I said.
"Well, honey, people nowadays on social media are sensitive about someone who doesn't agree with their orientation. People online can look up things now." Janey said.
"What should I do?" I asked.
"Just go online and apologize to the LGBTQ community on what you tweeted." Janey recommend.
I went on my phone and tweeted an apology. "I want to apologizes to my tweet on the LGBTQ community on behalf of the ignorance of my post that I made from my youth." I posted the tweet but some of them thought my apology was weak. I shot a music video for my new single called, "Boyz" The video will be a statement of identity after my backlash on drag queens. I will be dressing up as a drag in the video with a blonde wig and wearing a dress. I came out looking a woman and this was definitely new to me. I know the some in hip hop culture will see this and say, "Maxx is gay" (Which I'm not). The song is punk rap and it sounds just like my first songs. Once the video was release, some of the comments were like, "wtf" and said, "I fell off after having a girlfriend." Janey had comments on her page saying she the reason why my music has getting worst, but she ignored them. "Boyz" was #9 on the charts mostly because it wasn't promoted enough. I been watching the news lately about ICE separating families from their kids and kids being sent to the detention center. I decided to make my next video for my next single about family separation policy. The name of the song would be called, "All American Detention"Its about kids being sent to Trump's Detention Center and dancing around in cages, but instead of having immigrant kids, I put white kids in cages dancing and being treated as immigrants. There was some mixed reaction to the video mostly from pissed off Trump supporters, but I couldn't care less about their reaction. Three weeks later, I released my punk rock, rap rock theme album, "Bring Me Back To Life" it was loosely inspired by Lil Wayne's album, "Rebirth" and it features Halsey, Travis Barker, Yungblud, Kevin Rudolf, Shanell, Skullboy and Liam. It went #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and All American Detention went #4 on the Billboard Charts. My third single, "Clockwise" featuring Halsey and Travis Barker went #1 on Billboard and #5 on US Rock Songs. We performed the song at iHeartAwards.
Suddenly, on the news, a school shooting had happened at Hooverfield High School. Two of the shooters were two 11th grade students and killed fifteen kids and committed suicide. The Lieutenant revealed that the shooters were fans of mines and blamed me for the shooting, because of the lyrics from my early music. The Senator of Michigan went on tv and gave out a statement on the shooters.
"We're having an alarming rate of killings in schools, movie theaters and at grocery shops. I would say that though the youth is not to blamed on the shock entertainer like Maxx Misfit, I think he promotes it and can be part of the blame." said the Senator as I watched the tv.
'Yo, man. You don't need to be watching this shit." Liam came in and turn the tv off.
"They think I'm the reason those kids died. It's like Columbine and Marilyn Manson, again." I said.
"Ly. The newspeople can be full of it." Alexander said.
"Fuck it. I'm gonna call CNN." I said as I got up to get my phone.
"Ly, ly, hold on. Ly! Those shooters weren't thinking clearly. Just give the media sometime." Janey grabbed my phone.
"Yeah. She right, Ly. Give the media sometime to cool down." Alexander said as I sat down.
"Shit just don't make any sense." I said.
People have been throwing my cd's into the trash, stomping them and setting them on fire. Back in Atlanta, my mom, Katherine was walking out to her car and a white woman came up to her and said, "Excuse me."
"Yes?" Katherine said.
"You're Maxx Misfit's mother right?" the woman asked.
"Yes." Katherine said.
"You did a terrible job being a parent." she said as she walked away.
"What was that all about?" Katherine said to herself while driving home.
Once she got home, she saw red spray paint on her front door saying, "Son of a Killer". I went on MSNBC with Ari Melber to have an interview on being blamed for the Hooverfield Shooting and my "All American Detention" music video.
"Tonight, we have controversial rapper, Maxx Misfit who here talking about the deadly school shooting of Hooverfield and his music video for All American Detention. The short part of this music video which is already dubbed shocking, provocative, and bold." Ari said as the screen showed a small clip of the video.
"As a kid, growing up, music was the escape that's the only thing that had no judgements. Like you put on a record and it's not gonna at you for dressing the way you do. It's gonna make you feel better about it. I can definitely can see why they picked me, because I'm a black man and it's because throw my face on a tv, because in the end you're a poster boy for fear. I represent what everyone's afraid of. " I said.
"Okay, Maxx. Now let me ask you this on your last music vide of "All American Detention" why are tackling this on your music right now?" Ari asked.
"I think like the rest of the nation and the world when I saw the Immigrant Detention Center which we're preferring as Immigrant Prison because that what they really are. It actually inspired me to the music, because I've been to a detention center when I was 15 or 16. I feel like do your art is to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturb and this is the situation where you have a lot of people way too comfortable about atrocities that are being exacted upon children. Then you have a whole other side of the nation that is very disturb by this. They done this to people of color and none of those things would be allowed to fly were it America's prized white children at stake." I said.
"That's powerful the way you put it like that. And you hope the people that are watching this video and they feel how?" Ari asked.
"I'm hoping the people who watch this video about how Immigrants are treated in this nation and also we can make the through line, the tie in from these Immigrant prisons to mass incarceration, you know." I said.
"One other question, If you were to talk directly to the kids at Hooverfield or the people at the community what would you say to them if they were here right now." Ari asked.
"I wouldn't say a single word to them. I would listen to what they have to say. And that's what no one did." I said.
"Well thank you for being here." Ari said as he shook my head.
"Pleasure all mine." I said.
Three months later, I release a music video for my fourth single, "Year 2020" which features in a futuristic bleak world as a Trump-like-Dictator being posed as a robot. The youth are rioting in the streets and I'm performing in abandoning building. The song and video is very political and it failed the charts. I decided to not go on tour in the wake of protestors clashing at my shows.
